Skylight Installation & Replacement

Skylights bring natural light deep into rooms that windows can't reach — but they're also the #1 source of roof leaks when installed poorly.

Skylight Installation FAQs

Do skylights leak?

Quality skylights properly installed with correct curb, flashing, and underlayment integration do not leak. Most skylight leaks come from failed installation — poor flashing or wrong-size curb — not defective product.

How much do skylights cost installed?

Fixed skylights: $1,500–$3,500 installed. Venting skylights: $2,500–$5,000. Solar venting: $3,000–$6,000. Prices vary by size, roof type, and whether interior finish is included.

Can I add skylights during a re-roof?

Yes — that's actually the ideal time. Adding or replacing skylights is far cheaper and easier during a roof replacement since the underlayment and flashing can be integrated seamlessly.
